When my husband and I considered moving to the Conejo Valley we know no one in the area. I googled local real estate agents and the Lora Martin / Michael Radonic team fell in the middle of my handwritten list. For some reason they were the call I made; it turns out that even my closest friend could not have made a better recommendation. I still can’t believe we fell into such trustworthy and capable hands. Not only did Lora and Michael sell us our home, they exposed us to the beauty of the area. It wasn’t long before our wonderings had turned into a real commitment to sell our Pasadena home and move west.
We spent hours together every week, month after month. I saw every viable house on the market (they saw many more; before we walked into their office each week, they had already spent hours previewing properties and ruling things out. The one that looked so great on the internet? “It’s by a car wash,” or “It’s on too busy of a street. If you move out here, you don’t want to hear traffic.”) After seeing house after house that wasn’t quite IT, they assured me, “The perfect house will come when the time is right. It will all fall into place. And we won’t let you buy a house you don’t absolutely love!” Their calm, level-headed approach took all the anxiety out of the process, and in the course of the five months of house hunting I learned the neighborhoods (and their accompanying schools) from Agoura to Newbury Park. How could two people be so patient?
It turned out they were right about everything – when the time was right we did find a house we absolutely loved! The entire process, from making the initial offer, negotiating, having our offer accepted, moving into escrow, the inspection, the move in date… it was all handled impeccably. There was never a moment of doubt about their ability to handle all the necessary steps; we knew that Lora and Michael were pros – they had been helping buyers in this process for years and years, and nothing fazed them. We were in constant communication through email, cell phone, and face to face interactions. Lora called at 10:00 at night to tell us our offer had been accepted. She was thrilled for and with us. And they didn’t disappear once the transaction had been made. They continued to check in on us and make sure that all facets of the move happened smoothly.
I can’t believe it was a totally random act that lead us to Lora and Michael; you have a little more to go on having read this letter. If you are looking for a fun, stress-free home buying experience, you need look no further. Lora Martin and Michael Radonic are an incredibly competent realtor team, but more importantly, they are the kind of people whose integrity and kindness will affirm that there is goodness in the world.

Michael and Lora were great to work with. They were patient with us and were always available when needed. We would highly recommend their services and would use them again if needed.
